Abstract

The invention provides a graphics processor and an acceleration method thereof. The graphics processor comprises a texel unit and an execution unit. The texel unit comprises a reading module. The execution unit comprises: an im2col module which is used for executing an im2col algorithm and expanding an original matrix according to the size of a convolution kernel to obtain an expanded matrix; an execution unit which multiplies the extended matrix by the convolution kernel to obtain a feature matrix; a reading module which calculates a characteristic coordinate of each element of the characteristic matrix according to the coordinate of the extended matrix, and obtains an original coordinate of each element of the original matrix according to the characteristic coordinate, the convolution kernel, the pace value and the filling value, wherein the reading module reads at least one of the storage blocks covered by the original coordinates of each element of the original matrix, and transmits data corresponding to the original coordinates in the at least one of the storage blocks to the im2col module.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a graphic processor, in particular to a graphic processor for improving im2col calculation efficiency and an acceleration method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of artificial intelligence, it has become an important direction to accelerate the neural network with a graphics processing unit (GPU). In order to hardware-accelerate neural network algorithms, various chip factories continue to improve the performance of computing modules, reduce data memory access, and design optimized algorithms, making the neural network reasoning performance faster and faster. General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) is a widely used convolution acceleration method. Before executing GEMM, the input data needs to be prepared, and the process of preparing the input data is called image block rearrangement into matrix columns (im2col). [0003] When a traditional graphics processor executes GEMM, it must first read a matrix...
